After rebuilding the initramfs and doing a relabel, booting is back to normal.
I don't get asked an extra time in the early boot for a password. I get
asterisks when typing it in. And the boot doesn;t hang.

Note that I was using the same kernel after boot as I was before. People
that start using a new kernel after doing the usr move upgrade might
not see the password issue.

I noticied during the relabel that a number of /usr/lib files had a file_t
context. That probably could have been avoided during copying things over
from /lib to /usr/lib (and presumably for the other directories). cp
will copy over security context when using the -a option. When running
in permissive mode you should be able to set the contexts without an issue.
